Welcome and good luck! Enjoy the journey and the process, your life will be changed forever!

I am being banded November 17th!!! I am SOOOOO excited! Today was my first day of liquids. Not too bad but I am sure I will get frustrated soon! lol. I am sooooo ready! I had my consult back in MARCH! :drool:

I am willing to get together with anyone who has time! I think that this is going to be a tough journey and it is important to know people that are going through the same things! (I work until 10pm Mon - Fri)

That sounds GREAT Racegirl. I hope it doesn't take too long. I am REALLY anxious to get this done and started already! I would love to try to plan a meet-up with people on here. It would be especially nice to meet people that are seeing Dr.V! We can talk about how strange the shows on his tv in the waiting area are.... lol

Hey Everyone! I am planning on getting banded with Dr.V soon and I am in the middle of all of the crazy testing he requires! It is so nice to see people in the area and around my age that are working with the same doctor!

Kimo, I have not been banded yet, I am working on that but.... I think the whole point to the band is to HELP you lose the weight and more importantly, HELP you keep it off. By having the band, you CANT go back to eating the same amount you used to because you will get sick. It is a nice reminder to stick with it.... Also, Even if you could continue eating all the junk food you love, there is a difference between being thin and being healthy. One does not equal the other.

Hey Everyone! My Name is Desiree and I am just getting down to the nitty gritty! I just had my seminar with Dr. Voellinger in Charlotte and I was REALLY impressed!! I am really excited about starting this process and hopefully getting the band soon. I went to the class on Monday and turned in my application and letter to the Doc today. They were a bit shocked at my eagerness to get started. I love this site and I love looking at all the great pictures of everyone's great progress!!!:thumbup:

TheDailyplate.com is AWESOME! I use it every day. It is part of Livestrong.com. If you search for Cheese omlet and nothing comes up with the same things in it, you can add a new item. I have added several of my recipes to the site!
